D.E.B.S.

Angela Robinson's 2005 film mixes action, comedy, and romance in a tongue-in-cheek spy adventure about an elite squad of teenage crime fighters. Complications arise when the team's standout recruit finds herself falling for the very villainess she is assigned to capture, turning duty and desire into a playful tug-of-war. Bright, knowing, and unabashedly fun, the movie spoofs secret-agent conventions while telling a sincere love story at its center. The tone stays light and stylized throughout. It will appeal to viewers who enjoy campy genre send-ups, queer romance, and breezy comedies that wink at espionage thrillers. MagicMovieScore: 6.5.
